At five, she blew up her grandmother's outhouse; at six, she shaved her grandfather's head in the middle of the night; at seven, she set fire to the woodshed; and at eight, she chased her uncles all over the village with a knife. Finally, when she came of age, the Su family eagerly awaited her marriage. Su Fu, true to her name, meant that anyone who didn't let her live comfortably would never have a comfortable life.

    This is a beautifully written, slowly unfolding story. The initial plot might seem abrupt or even tedious, but as you savor it, you'll discover that everything is a carefully crafted foreshadowing by the author. The male and female leads each have distinct personalities, the little boy Zhouzhou is especially adorable, and the aunt Danyi is kind and simple, devoted to the family. The male lead's approach to things is particularly noteworthy; he's straightforward in his relationships, clearing up misunderstandings and resolving conflicts promptly—far better than the typical, silent male lead. The female lead may have some personality flaws in the early stages due to certain reasons, but she gradually learns to be a good mother and to love, while also possessing a unique feminine beauty, achieving success in both her career and love life.

    "One hundred million, not bad, not bad at all! Looks like this year's Double Eleven is really booming!" Having not slept all night, Lin Ying, with huge dark circles under her eyes, didn't feel sleepy at all when she saw the sales figures in the backend. She started her own business during university, opening a Taobao store specializing in maternal and infant products. She entered the industry early and has been in it for a long time, and now she has built her own maternal and infant brand, achieving the number one sales ranking on Double Eleven. She was already very satisfied with this result. "Everyone has worked hard. Take a good rest today, and we'll start shipping this afternoon!" She needed to ship early to avoid customers getting impatient and returning items, which would affect the store's rating. "Okay, Ms. Lin." "Alright, after this busy period, I'll give everyone a break and bonuses. Today's success is inseparable from your hard work!" Many of these people had been working with her for a long time, and Lin Ying certainly wouldn't treat them unfairly. She praised them a few times and even invited them out for breakfast. After eating, she told everyone to rest. After all, she wasn't a truly exploitative capitalist. To ensure everyone could work better, she certainly had to make sure the "horses" were well-fed, watered, and slept well, right?
